Some people say that face masks and respirators provide adequate protection against being contaminated by COVID-19, while others say that they don’t work. So what is the truth regarding this matter?

There is actually truth in both statements. N95 and FFP3 respirators do work. However, there are several things that the user has to do in order to ensure that they work as intended, and provide the protection that one needs; namely these:

1. Make sure that you have the right size mask for the size and contour of your face. A medium-size mask will fit most people.

2. Make sure that you are wearing the mask properly so that it fits snugly against your face.

Some respirators — such as the ones I have — have a small metal strip across the nose bridge so that you can mold that part of the mask close to your nose so that there are no gaps between the mask and your skin.

3. If you have a beard or a mustache, you will probably have to shave it off; as otherwise, the mask will not seal properly on your face.

4. While wearing the respirator, do NOT touch any part of your face with your hands, particularly your nose and your mouth.

5. Most respirators should only be worn for a few hours and then discarded; not only because they become moist from your breathing, but also because if you are working in a contaminated area, the mask will eventually become saturated with contagions.

6. When it comes time to remove and/or discard the mask, be very careful how you do it.

Try to just touch only the straps as you remove it, as otherwise, you could unknowingly end up getting the virus on your fingers. Then, when you inadvertently touch your face, such as your mouth or your nose, you will end up infecting yourself.

7. If you are living in, working in or temporarily visiting an area where there may be infected people or contaminated surfaces, in addition to making sure that you are wearing your face mask properly following all of the previous steps, wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water, or else use wipes that contain at least a 70% alcohol solution, or use rubbing alcohol with a non-alcohol-based wipe of your choice.

If you fail to carefully follow the previous recommendations, then no matter how expensive or high quality your mask is, you will still become infected.

For the record, despite how careful they are, it has already been reported that some health care workers have in fact been infected by the coronavirus. That is just how virulent and aggressive COVID-19 is when it comes to transmission.

So be careful, be conscious of what you are doing at all times, and follow the above guidelines, as well as the guidelines which are issued by your local healthcare officials and government authorities. And, of course, pray for God’s protection.

I hope that the above tips help. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Coronavirus: 40 Bible Verse Lists Regarding God’s Love, Patience, Wrath, Judgments and Repentance

Posted on February 17, 2021 by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/coronavirus-40-bible-verse-lists-regarding-gods-love-patience-wrath-judgments-and-repentance/

As the world endures the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many people — including many Christians — are looking to YouTube videos, unsubstantiated conspiracy theories and other question sources, in order to understand and explain what is going on, as well as why it is occurring. In my view, many of these things are red herrings and sideshows which distract us from the one true source which actually explains to us what is going on in the world right now. Of course, I am referring to the Bible. But because they look to these other secular sources to understand and explain things, some people are not only missing the Big Picture, they are also emphasizing the wrong things when they discuss this issue with their friends.

The fact of the matter is that as Bible-believing Christians who know the Lord, we have a duty, an obligation and a responsibility to look to God’s Word for the answers, and not to the wisdom of the world, which can quite often be rather deceiving. While many people today — again, including many Christians — like to emphasize a God of love and a lovey-dovey Jesus, as I explain in articles such as “Do You Want Love and Light, or Rod and Wrath?“, the Holy Scriptures inform us that our Heavenly Father is both a God of Love, as well as a God of Wrath. Likewise, Jesus can bleat like a Lamb, or else He can roar like a Lion. Exactly which side we each see of their character depends a lot on us.

One mistake which I have repeatedly seen some Christians make, is to use verses such as John 10:10 to justify and convey the one-sided image of God the Father and Jesus which I just mentioned to you. In that verse, Jesus states the following:

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have ‭it‭ more abundantly.”
John 10:10, KJV

Personally, I wholeheartedly agree with the above verse. In fact, I am quite familiar with it, as well as with a number of other related verses, which you will find in the “God’s Desire for Healing and Repentance” KJV Bible Verse List which is listed below. But as I said, we need to look at the entire equation. In other words, we can’t just look at those verses which create an image of God the Father and Jesus Christ which we like, which is pleasing to us, and which we can easily accept. We need to examine ALL of the related verses.

As I have said so many times before, we need to compare and balance Scripture with Scripture, in order to better understand whatever subject we happen to be researching in the Bible. If we fail to do this, then we may end up with a lopsided understanding of the issue. Worse yet, we may erroneously convey that lopsided understanding to others as well.

This very same rule applies to understanding the full nature of God the Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ. When we do compare Scripture with Scripture, we get a very different picture. We get a more balanced picture. For example, while in Matthew 18:11 Jesus said “For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost”, and in Luke 9:56 He also said “For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them”, at the same time, the Lord also clearly said such things as the following in the Gospels:

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
Matthew 10:28, KJV

“And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: ‭‭Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.”
Mark 9:45-46, KJV

“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
Luke 13:2, KJV

“Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: SIN NO MORE, LEST A WORSE THING COME UNTO THEE.”
John 5:14, KJV

And let us not forget that this is the same Jesus who overturned the tables of the moneychangers in the temple compound, and who repeatedly referred to the unbelieving Jews as liars, hypocrites, oppressors of the poor, murderers, and the children of the Devil. So, do you see my point?

To continue, as I mentioned earlier, if we truly want to understand what the COVID-19 pandemic is all about, and why it has wrecked the global economy, and pretty much brought the entire world to a standstill, then we must look to God’s Word, and not to the fallible words or wisdom of mere men. With that in mind, below you will find a list of 40 of the current 625 topical KJV Bible Verse Lists which I have compiled to date. If you invest some serious time in really studying each one of them, it is my hope that you will arrive at a much better, clearer understanding regarding why the coronavirus has struck the world at this current time. May God bless you and enlighten you as you delve deeply into His wonderful Word.

Coronavirus: God Will Silence the Fools

Posted on February 17, 2021 by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/coronavirus-god-will-silence-the-fools/

Dear friends, since I first began speaking out about and writing about the current COVID-19 pandemic just over a week ago, I have been told that I am overreacting and being too serious. Some people have mocked me. Some people have deleted my comments. At least one person has blocked me. Another person has accused me of being a religious Pharisee. Sadly, some of the people who have done these things are my own Christian brethren. To those people who are behaving in this manner, I say the following:

Am I truly a religious Pharisee as you falsely claim? Or am I one who is in tune enough to the Spirit to simply see what God is doing, and will continue to do, through the current COVID-19 pandemic? Am I truly a religious Pharisee, or am I simply concerned enough, and love my Christian brethren enough, to warn them of the folly they commit by continuing to joke about the current situation regarding the growing pandemic which has now touched the entire world?

One thing I have come to suspect is that through this current global scourge, sooner or later, one by one, God will eventually silence all of the mockers and fools. Their tongues and voices will be stopped, once they truly realize how serious this is, and come to understand that COVID-19 is a global chastisement from the Lord for our many sins. And, yes, we ALL have sins in our lives, from the greatest to the least. Only you know what they are in your particular life. You may not believe it now; you can crack your insensitive jokes now; you can continue to mock those of us who try to tell you the truth; but if I am right, you may not be laughing for much longer as the coronavirus continues to sweep the world, and begins to take the lives of some of your loved ones. Will you let it come to that? Will God have to continue to apply the pressure until you wake up and repent of your sins and unbelief?

I most certainly do not pray for this to happen to anyone. After all, as I explain in my three-part series “Coronavirus: Just the Facts, Ma’am”, God does not wish to destroy us. He wishes for us to come to our senses and repent, so that He can save us. In fact, the Scriptures inform us that it pains Him to have to chastise us. As the Apostle Paul stated to the Athenians in Acts chapter seventeen:

“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”
Acts 17:30-31, KJV

So God’s reaction, and the degree of His chastisements, depends a lot on our reaction to His chastisements. So what will you do? Will you humble yourself before Him and repent of your sins as in this verse?:

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14, KJV

For those of my Christian brethren who have acted in this fashion, I say this: How long will you continue to act in such a worldly, fleshly manner? Are we not called to be different from the world? That is, to be holy, set apart and sanctified to a greater purpose? How can you claim to do so when you act just like the children of the world? Please carefully study the following Bible resources:

Coronavirus: Do You Need a Psychiatric Evaluation?

Posted on February 17, 2021 by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/coronavirus-do-you-need-a-psychiatric-evaluation/

It really saddens me to see how many people — including many of my own Christian brethren who clearly should know better — have so easily succumbed to the unsubstantiated claims of conspiracy theorists in regards to the current coronavirus pandemic. While that is troubling in itself, even worse, some of these people are so deceived, that even now, months into this fast-spreading global pandemic, they still don’t believe that the SARS-CoV-2 plague is real. Denying all evidence that tells them to the contrary, such folks claim that COVID-19 is simply a news media hoax, or else they attribute the pandemic to some other scheming entities who are bent on carrying out some dark and devious agenda to control the world. Take your pick.

Many of the people who entertain this madness base their position primarily on what they are able to observe in their own immediate, personal microcosm. In other words, because they don’t know anyone personally who has become infected with or died from COVID-19, they therefore assume — quite erroneously so — that the pandemic must not be real. In fact, I have even read comments online where some of these people claim that the stories of refrigerator trucks filled with the bodies of the dead are all fabricated. They also claim that some hospitals are not really being overwhelmed, and are in fact pretty empty with very little or even no activity at all. Yes, believe it or not! That is how deceived some of them are!

Wow! What a short-sighted perspective! How can such people shut their eyes so tightly, and choose to ignore the greater picture, and the greater body of scientific, medical and governmental evidence which clearly demonstrates that the COVID-19 pandemic is very real? My gosh, as of this current date — June 18, 2020 — it has infected well over eight million people thus far, and killed over 447,000 thousand people around the world as well. I am sure that the Americans who have lost someone to this disease don’t believe that it is a fabricated media hoax. Neither do the Brazilians. Neither do the British. Neither do the Italians. Or the French. Or the Spanish. Or anyone else where the coronavirus has taken a horribly great toll. Only crazy conspiracy theorists embrace the insanity that the pandemic is not real. Only deceived people can close their eyes to what is happening all around them and ignore this tragedy.

Look, as I will be pointing out in yet another upcoming coronavirus-related article, I am not stupid, and I don’t have my head in the sand. On the one hand, I wholeheartedly agree with the fact that we should not be too naive and gullible insofar as the liberal news media, and even our own government announcements are concerned. We all know how they can be. After all, they do have their agendas. However, at the same time, neither should we go to the opposite extreme by rejecting and scoffing at what is actually happening around the world right now. Neither should we trivialize, discount or minimize the number of deaths which have occurred thus far, as if they mean nothing, simply because they are not in the millions. At least not yet. In case you don’t know what I am talking about, let me tell you.

In recent months I have seen certain discussions occurring on Facebook in regards to the COVID-19 pandemic, which I feel should not be happening. I am referring to some of my own Christian brethren who I have seen arguing and debating over numbers, and comparing annual flu mortality rates and COVID-19 mortality rates, all for the sake of making some particular point, or defending a particular position. Most often, it is to make the point that the current coronavirus pandemic death rate is not nearly as bad as the annual flu death rate. Personally, I view it as being insensitive, and even callous to the suffering and death which so many people are experiencing right now. It is being carnal. These dead people are not just mere numbers to argue about.

I don’t know about you, but I believe that every life is precious to the Lord. He desires everyone to be saved. I have to wonder how many of the over 447,000 people who have already perished worldwide from this plague, knew Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. So if you have been guilty of doing this, please, let’s stop downplaying and minimizing their deaths by engaging in foolish numbers debates. Okay? Let’s show a little sensitivity.

But getting back to the crazy idea that the pandemic is just a fabrication of the news media, stop and think about this. If we accept what fringe conspiracy theorists are claiming — which I personally don’t — then we have to not only believe that the drastic actions which are currently being taken by governments all around the world are based on their belief in the lies of the mass media, but we also have to believe that 188 of the nations of the world have suddenly banded together in order to deceive the world’s people. It is just one big, evil, global plot where everyone is in cahoots with each other, right? I don’t think so. Furthermore, we have to believe that all of these nations are willing to totally wreck their economies, in order to perpetuate this so-called pandemic “hoax”, and deceive their own people. Do you see how far-fetched such an idea is?

Personally, I don’t buy this hoax nonsense. I live on a small island where everybody knows everybody, or is at least related to a lot of other people on the island. In March of this current year, we had zero confirmed cases of COVID-19. Now — June 18, 2020 — we have 188 total confirmed cases, and the number continues to slowly grow by the week. Thankfully, unlike many other places, due to strict social distancing being put into practice early on here, we have had only five deaths thus far. However, now that social distancing restrictions are being loosened up a bit, and businesses are starting to reopen, it will be interesting to see how this affects the number of total infections.

So, my friends, if you want to, you can believe that the coronavirus pandemic is one grand hoax that is being perpetuated by 188 governments around the world, by the news media, by many medical professionals, etc. But personally, I am convinced that the pandemic is real. Yes, the mass media is clearly and surely exaggerating the truth regarding this pandemic for reasons which I have already explained before. No doubt, some governments are doing so as well. Nevertheless, that does not negate the underlying facts, as communicated to us by government representatives and health officials alike. Believe it or not, but there are some honest people amongst them. They are not all slimeballs.

AZAZEL THE SCAPEGOAT AND FALLEN ANGEL — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List

Posted on February 15, 2021 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses

In the original Hebrew, the English word “scapegoat” is “azazel”. Please refer to the article entitled “Judgment of Azazel: Scapegoat of the High Priest” for more details regarding this topic.

“And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat [Azazel] . . . But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat [Azazel], shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat [Azazel] into the wilderness . . . And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat [Azazel] shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.”
Leviticus 16:8, 10, 26, KJV

“And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways.”
Book of Enoch 8:1-3a

“Thou seest what Azazel hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were (preserved) in heaven, which men were striving to learn:”
Book of Enoch 9:6b-7a

“And again the Lord said to Raphael: ‘Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light. And on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the fire. And heal the earth which the angels have corrupted, and proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through all the secret things that the Watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons. And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin.'”
Book of Enoch 10:4-8

“And Enoch went and said: ‘Azazel, thou shalt have no peace: a severe sentence has gone forth against thee to put thee in bonds: And thou shalt not have toleration nor request granted to thee, because of the unrighteousness which thou hast taught, and because of all the works of godlessness and unrighteousness and sin which thou hast shown to men.'”
Book of Enoch 13:1-3

“And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, saying: ‘For whom are these chains being prepared ?’ And he said unto me: ‘These are being prepared for the hosts of Azazel, so that they may take them and cast them into the abyss of complete condemnation, and they shall cover their jaws with rough stones as the Lord of Spirits commanded.'”
Book of Enoch 54:4-5

“Ye mighty kings who dwell on the earth, ye shall have to behold Mine Elect One, how he sits on the throne of glory and judges Azazel, and all his associates, and all his hosts in the name of the Lord of Spirits.”
Book of Enoch 55:4

“And after this judgement they shall terrify and make them to tremble because they have shown this to those who dwell on the earth. And behold the names of those angels [and these are their names: the first of them is Samjaza, the second Artaqifa, and the third Armen, the fourth Kokabel, the fifth Turael, the sixth Rumjal, the seventh Danjal, the eighth Neqael, the ninth Baraqel, the tenth Azazel, the eleventh Armaros, the twelfth Batarjal, the thirteenth Busasejal, the fourteenth Hananel, the fifteenth Turel, and the sixteenth Simapesiel, the seventeenth Jetrel, the eighteenth Tumael, the nineteenth Turel, the twentieth Rumael, the twenty-first Azazel. And these are the chiefs of their angels and their names, and their chief ones over hundreds and over fifties and over tens].”
Book of Enoch 69:1-3

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.”
1 Peter 2:12-16, KJV

AVOID ARGUING — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List

Posted on February 15, 2021 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses

“For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?”
1 Corinthians 1:11-13, KJV

“For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.”
1 Corinthians 3:3-6, KJV

“But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”
2 Timothy 2:23-26, KJV

“But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.”
Titus 3:9, KJV

“Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”
1 Corinthians 1:10, KJV

AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List

Posted on February 15, 2021 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only . . . Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up . . . The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,”
Matthew 24:36, 42-43, 50,KJV

“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”
Matthew 25:13,KJV

“But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things . . . But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”
Mark 13:23, 32-37,KJV

“Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.”
Luke 12:35-40,KJV

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”
Luke 21:34-36,KJV

“When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.”
Acts 1:6-7,KJV

“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.”
1 Thessalonians 5:2-6,KJV

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”
2 Peter 3:10,KJV

“Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.”
Revelation 3:3,KJV

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.”
Revelation 16:15,KJV

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses

“And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it. And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about. And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it. And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof. And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be. And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.”
Exodus 25:8-22, KJV

And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it. And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold. And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof. And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat; One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof. And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.”
Exodus 37:1-9, KJV

“And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died; And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.”
Leviticus 16:1-2, KJV

APOSTLES’ SIGNS AND WONDERS — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List

Posted on February 15, 2021 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses

“And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”
Matthew 10:7-8, KJV

“Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.”
Luke 9:1-2, KJV

“And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you . . . Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”
Luke 10:8-9, 19-20, KJV

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.”
John 14:12-14, KJV

Mark 16:17-18, KJV

“Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God . . . Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.”
Acts 3:1-9, 4:8-10, KJV

“And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.”

And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.”
Acts 20:9-12, KJV

“And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.”
Acts 28:3-6, KJV

“And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.”

APOSTLE PAUL’S HUMILITY — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List

Posted on February 15, 2021 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses

“And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.”
1 Corinthians 15:8-10, KJV

“Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;”
Ephesians 3:7-8, KJV

“For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.”
1 Corinthians 4:9-13, KJV

“For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.”
2 Corinthians 10:10, KJV

“O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?”
Romans 7:24, KJV

APOSTLE PAUL’S APPROACHING DEATH — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List

Posted on February 15, 2021 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses

“For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.”
Philippians 1:19-26, KJV

“Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.”
Philippians 2:16-17, KJV

“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”
2 Timothy 4:6-8, KJV

APOSTLE PAUL PERSECUTED THE FIRST CENTURY CHURCH — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List

Posted on February 15, 2021 by Bill Kochman

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses

“Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him [Stephen] with one accord, And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.”
Acts 7:57-8:3, KJV

“And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.”
Acts 9:1-2, KJV

“And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.”
Acts 22:4-5, KJV

“I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them. And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.”
Acts 26:9-11, KJV

“For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.”
1 Corinthians 15:9, KJV

“For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.”
Galatians 1:13-14, KJV

To choose which version of the blog you wish to view, simply scroll down to the very bottom of the page, and tap on either the Desktop Version link, or else on the Mobile Version link. The BBB Blog will then reload on your device in the mode that you just chose.
